Match preview
Monday night’s Premier League game at City Ground pits Nottingham Forest, the home team against Aston Villa.
On the back of their current form, Aston Villa are favoured to keep their momentum going against Nottingham Forest. They have been able to string together a series of good results and will be eager not to let that slip away.
Nottingham Forest are currently rooted to the bottom of the Premier League standings and have endured an abysmal season so far. The hosts suffered a damaging 4-0 defeat against Leicester City in their previous game and will look to bounce back this week.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, are in 14th place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent so far this season. The away side played out a 0-0 stalemate against Leeds United last week and will look to take it up a notch in this fixture.
